Domain and email stuff

[Ian FG]

My son has started a business and he has registered a domain name. I assume he now has to buy hosting for a website. Who would you recommend for hosting? How does the email work with domains/websites? How do you set it up? What would the email address be? A very new area for me. Any help gratefully received.

Hi Ian

 

What does he intend to use the website for - it makes a big difference to who to use for hosting.

 

Most hosting companies now make it fairly easy to manage all the functions now.

 

For a very simple to use and very well supported host I have got to say that I have found servage.net very good indeed. I've had an account with them for just over 2 years, and I still like them.

 

As to email addresses, he should be able to use anyname@hisdomain

 

You've got a PM

nick does hosting, I believe.

 

He always goes that extra yard to help AN members, too.

Ill vouch for that Elton. Nick helped me set up my forum and has always been on hand to help with any problems.

 

Great guy.

[Elton]

I don't know about the great guy bit. I've heard that he pulls the wings off flies, turns a blind eye when old ladies are trying to cross the road and drives through puddles on purpose to splash school kids.

 

But he is good at that techy stuff

[nick]

close Elton, but I pull the arms off old ladies, and drive into flies as they cross the road

 

And I fill the puddles myself that I use to splash the kids

 

But not too shabby when it comes to the techy stuff

 

And most of the stuff for AN members is free 'cos there's so little involved, and at least one chappie on here has had lots done for a case of cheap wine
